| Welcome to Eve-Guides.com, a website dedicated to explaining a few unexplained things about the eve-online MMO. My aim is to not only explain these things but to use videos to actually show you how to do them. I hope you enjoy the site and please feel free to post in the shoutbox or contact me in game. |
| Game Time Codes and EVE-Online Trial Accounts, these can be purchased using the graphics to the right, they will generate income for myself and will not cost you anymore than normal. These will help me keep the site afloat and running, so please when you buy either use the links to the right. |
Changes in Apocrypha 1.3
I'm in the process of updating a lot of pages with Apoc 1.3 changes.
The Tech III guides are complete (almost) when I get a wrecked success I will know the run output. Intact Relics now yield 20 run copies, Malfunctioning 10 run copies and Wrecked are 3 run copies still.
Please note POS anchoring and onlining times are 50% less than all times you see on videos on EVE-Guides and on guide pages. I will get around to changing these soon™.
Eve-Guides - Tools, Guides, Spreadsheets offer to budding writers
I've opened a new section (Tools/Guides) which will be open to those of you who have created your own Tools, Guides or Eve-Online related spreadsheets. This new FREE service from Eve-Guides will give you webspace on which to host/mirror your own creations and I will provide the webspace and links from the above tab. You will have your own access to allow you to make easy updates as you wish and your very own configurable link. Check out the Tools/Guides link for more details.
T3 Changes coming in summer expansion
CCP have announced changes to T3 in the summer expansion, most of which is good news. There still wont be any way to select the outcome of which subsystem you want to reverse engineer unfortunately, one of the major reasons current costs are so high.
Alliance usage of POS Labs
Since the topic keeps arising on the Eve-Online forums I've covered the most asked questions in a new page found on the POSs tab entitles Alliance usage of POS labs.
Changes to Standings Calculations in Apoc 1.2
CCP did something rather sneeky in the Apoc 1.2 patch and although it's tainted in the patch notes as:
Standings will now be calculated and displayed correctly when Connections and Diplomacy are applied to any character.
It has a rather huge knock on effect, especially with R&D agents. Why does it affect R&D agents moreso than ordinary agents is down to the fact that if you do an R&D agent mission you do NOT get any standings increase, you simply gain the amount of RPs (Research Points) you get daily again for the mission. So it wont surprise you if you go to your R&D agent and he will no longer talk to you, or offer you datacores or let you do missions for him/her.
Please look at this page (on the Other tab) which explains how to get these agents working for you again and how to look for the correct standings which matter.
Reverse Engineering
Reverse Engineering video has been replaced with a better one and sound added. You can see the video from the Manufacturing tab - reverse engineering section.
Item Database Upgraded - Apocrypha 1.1
Boy what a job that was, I had to manually upload every sql table and then change all the SQL statements in the PHP pages to lowercase letters. I think it's correct now, I will have a closer look tomorrow as I've now run out of time tonight.
Update - Fixed the search on the Item Database
Manufacturing overhaul
I've completely redone the manufacturing section to make it more informative, I hope it explains things better now.
Did you know?
- You can highlight all the modules you want to fit to your ship (by holding down the ctrl key and selecting each one) then right clicking on one and choosing fit to active ship and they will all fit in one go?
- You can deliver multiple jobs on the Science & Industry window by selecting all the ones ready to deliver (by holding down the ctrl key and selecting each one) or by sorting on "active state" and selecting the first job, holding shift then selecting the last job (to select all the ready jobs) then clicking deliver and they will deliver all at once?
- Eve has sound? Yeh it's true it does :)
- You can customise certain buttons down the left side menu? Right click an empty portion under the left menu icons and select configure, this gives you 3 more options (Accessories, Services and World Information), ticking a checkbox will remove the icon from the left menu and put it under the Accessories or Services icon (these icons will appear once you have added an option to the menu). The World information settings change what you see in a solarsystem up in the top left corner of the screen.
Apocrypha Database added + T3 Guides finer tuned
I've added the Apocrypha database to the Item Database tab above. Most of the new icons are missing as CCP have yet to release them. I have made up some of them myself to improve the work I've done to the Tech III manufacturing section. This has been more finely tuned and links put into items within the database dump, I still have more to do but that will come shortly.
Tech III Manufacturing Guide added
I've been working tirelessly all day and night on covering everything there is to do with Tech III manufacturing. Under the Manufacturing and BPOs tab you will find a link to T3 which then covers materials, parts, mixing hybrid polymers, reverse engineering and the manufacturing of components, hulls and subsystems.
Whilst it may need fine tuning and I have still to add audio guidance to the videos, the bulk of what you need to know is there, enjoy!!
Exploration reworking
The exploration section has been partially re-worked and more information added, I envisage it to be complete by the end of this weekend.
Apocrypha and Eve-Guides
I'm back after a short stint away with work, I have a number of changes to make to existing pages and some new stuff to put together.
Please bare with me whilst I learn the new features myself before committing to writing guides.
Also a thank you to all the people who have offered to write guides, I was quite overwhelmed after sat waiting for Apocrypha patch to download (7 hours) to find quite a few evemails waiting for me in game. I may well take some of you up on the offers - just give me a couple of days to catch up.
Old Character Generator
I've been asked by a few people if I would be willing to post the flash for the character generator as a download. Since it's no longer applicable to EVE I don't see why not. Click here to download it.
